I always wondered what happened to Lenny and Squiggy. They haven't aged well.
Ick! Two wild and crazy guys badly in need of ear training.

I would tell you what I would call it, but I don,t think Scott like it.

Well I think it's pretty cool

Nice conversion job, though, even filled in the holes for the other 4 string pegs.
licks still sounds high-guitarish though, may be tuned like one.
a spare out behind, too.

It's all musical expression
Was that an old bowl or a flat back? Regardless, it was pretty cool. I liked his pseudo whammy bar hand motions. Link Wray does the e-mando...

NO. Everybody knows REAL electric mandolins have FIVE strings and SIX tuning pegs!Their calling this a mandolin, but it appears to only have 4 strings....can they truly call it a mandolin?
It looked like he was playing mandolin shapes and he's a violin/violist, so my guess is that that thing, which appears to be a flat-back, was tuned like a mandolin. I went to their web site and heard some more stuff by them. Decent but not awe-inspiring. To me, that video has some nice moments but they are few are far between, and I love electric blues.
